Nas Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Something tells me this is an old list since they only mentioned Eli being an MVP of one Super Bowl... also they included Shockey and Buress... I'm not sure how I feel about that.. http://espn.go.com/newyork/photos/gallery/_/id/6882671/image/1/the-50-greatest-giants-50-greatest-giants-photo-gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 nicks and cruz are better giants than burress and shockey as far as im concerned. eli is not ranked high enough at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Giant Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 nicks and cruz are better giants than burress and shockey as far as im concerned. eli is not ranked high enough at all I don't know, when those guys were on top of the world when Eli was still pretty shaky. I think Nicks and Cruz can be better than them in all time considerations, but it'll take another year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 they've already contributed more to the franchise than shockey ever did. they were the 2nd and 3rd most important players on the team two years ago imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I could only see pics on the iPad and not names but... was Rosie Brown in there? And why no Jumbo Elliot? You watch the second half of that Bills Super Bowl, Elliot is fucking planting Bruce Smith on every play. You could make a case for Chris Snee and Osi Umenyiora as well.... They certainly belonged there more than Droppy and Laxico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a more informed person would have made a better list... and that wouldn't be me as I don't remember those black and white pix lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how I feel about that.. http://espn.go.com/n...s-photo-gallery They do state 8 years so this must have been written just before the second SB. Could be an interesting debate how far Manning will move up the greatest Giants list by the time he retires. I think it will be LT one and Manning two. If Manning wins another SB it'll be a toss up for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Manning wins another SB it'll be a toss up for one. I still think LT would be one as he was the one to bring us in out of the wilderness.... Simms came in 79...it wasn't until LT stepped in that we ended our 18 year playoff drought...just imagine the last Title/playoff experience was in 63' the year before I was born...and their first playoff experience was the year I graduated high school in 81'.

Herc Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 i've only been watching since the early 90's but can anyone watching longer than that give a top 5 without eli in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 My top 5 ever 1.) LT 2.) Eli 3.) Strahan 4.) Tiki 5.) Nicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman329 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 OK, how far back are we going? I loved Jumbo but how many of you saw Rosie Brown? Come to think of it, Ray Wietecha would probably crack the top 50, too. And YA Tittle is a definite. Ditto Frank Gifford, Sam Huff and probably a few more from that era. And I have a hunch Jack might want to nominate another OL from that period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too young for that era, but from what I've seen from clips of Del Shofner and Dick Lynch, they should be on there if they're not.

(Can't seem to see the link properly) They are and some old timers are rated very high. 1. Lawrence Taylor 2. Emlen Tunnell 3. Mel Hein 4. Harry Carson 5. Sam Huff 6. Roosevelt Brown 7. Michael Strahan 8. Fran Gifford 9. Phil Simms 10. Tiki Barber Tittle is 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYG Hampton 27 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 In a franchise with so many hall of famers, cracking the top 15 is tremendous. Eli could win another and might not even sneak in at 5. Carson is a bit too high, Rosie Brown is an nfl 75th anniversary team guy (Brown, LT, and Hein are the only giants), he should be four or five. Mel Hein played every down of every game on offense, defense and special teams, and the only lineman to ever win nfl MVP, he won't be passed.

GorillaNJ Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 This list was start of 2011 season. So I would have to think that Eli by virtue of 2 superbowl MVP's has to spring him to the top of the QB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Jumbo should be on there, Think Kyle Rote should higher, then some other WR's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
